I'm dressing as a fake Sith Lord for Eppy 2 opening night

I'm going as "Sharkus Maxminis" the young, good looking, jedi apprentice that wins the final lightsaber battle.


SHARKY

 

I'll dress up as Al Gore, then call myself Darth Maul.

Who remembers this rumor posted by Coming Attractions back in May?

____________________________________________________________________

May 23, 2000... Okay, put this in the pocket you reserve for wild, freaked out, unsubstantiated rumors. We've received numerous e-mails from a variety of sources stating that the next Sith badass will be named...Darth Kimball. Yeah, I know, we had the same reaction here. One scooper by the name of Joey told us that Kimball was named for a villain in a Japanese fable. And one anonymous scooper laid everything out like this. If he's right, then you're looking at major SPOILER material. If he's wrong, then you can look back on this and be amused. But for right now, grab your salt like he asks and look at this if you dare:

"I really can't tell you how I came about this info without revealing my friends who gave it to me, so you'll just have to take it with a grain of salt, unless you can confirm it yourselves. The name of the next apprentice in Episode 2 and 3
(yes, he will appear in BOTH films) is definitely Darth Kimball. What significance the name has I wasn't told, but designers are working on two drastic looks for this Sith Apprentice. By Episode 3, he will appear more 'monstrous'. This will be due to the effects of his battle with Yoda(!) at the end of Episode 2. He will survive and return in Episode 3 - and this where my sources might have been just speculating - and he will be the one to cause Anakin's injuries that lead to his wearing the suit. This is done out of resentment at being replaced by Anakin as Palpatine's apprentice. Word has it that Kimball strikes down Anakin (and into some kind of pit - lava?) in front of Obi-Wan as he is trying to convince Anakin to renounce the Dark Side. This causes Obi-Wan's guilt of not being to save Anakin, from himself or from Darth Kimball.

"The parts about Episode 3 are speculation on the part of my sources, although they say they have heard Lucas' outlines for 3 as well as 2. But Darth Kimball will be the name of the next apprentice. That much is true."

Now, a couple of thoughts spring to mind. First, we took Joey's notion that Kimball was based on a character from a Japanese fable and we started searching. Nothing. No hits. Granted, we're not exactly scholars in Japanese folklore, so we might not know where to look. But still, it gives one pause.

The other possible explanation for the name might be that it's a "Blue Harvest," i.e. a cover name for the true name of the new apprentice. At this point, we are without clue. Or it could be a rumor that somebody started to be cute and now it's got a bunch of people on board. But we'd be remiss if we didn't let you know that the rumor was out there. Now let's just get some more information, shall we? [Thanks to Joey and a few of his anonymous buddies.]

 

ROTFLMAO!

I never saw that announcement when it came out (for some odd reson, i don't go to CA much.)

Amazing what some people will post...


.....although, does this mean Darth Kimball=Count Kimbel=Darth Tyranus=Count Dooku???

 

I'm gonna dress up like obiwan with a ZZ-Top beard





or will I






Yeah I will

Time blessing was a baked Myth Chord more Preppy Stew fallopian.

 

The millennia is... now... over...

 

I am going to the screening as a short stocky asian guy in his mid twenties...It's gonna be sweet..Look out for me there!

 

Is there anyone here near or in Lafayette IN?

I really want to dress up on opening night as the baddest Sith to ever grace the Star Wars Galaxy but I don't want to step on anyone's toes.

 

I don't know of anyone living in Lafayette IN. The closest Fan Force forum is Fort Wayne, IN.

I'm surprised no one has brought this old legend back up

 

DK: I rise again!

-=doesn't look both ways and hit by passing speeder=-

All must read this thread!

 

I just heard somewhere that Darth Kimball will be played by Willem Dafoe, as an insider joke referring to his role in American Psycho.

 

I think I will actually do this. Dress as Lord Darth Kimball.

Then I'll post pics and video on the 'net!

Oh, and ~uppers~

 

I want your soul!
